Chapter 9 hints at a Marvel Universe?
Lu Mingfei suddenly looked up, his heart pounding like a little rabbit.
He hadn't received any messages from his parents for a long time. Occasionally, his mother would write, but it was always the same: tell him to take care of himself and study hard.
Lu Mingfei sometimes felt that those letters were just to appease him, and that his parents didn't really care about him anymore.
But at a crucial juncture in his life, his parents unexpectedly appeared in this way, and with such power, they even gave him the opportunity to study at a prestigious foreign university.
"They care about you and wrote a letter to the principal specifically for your case," Professor Guderian said. "The so-called honorary alumni are alumni who have made outstanding contributions to the college, and we always give priority to their children."
"Your brother graduated from the US?" Aunt asked Uncle doubtfully. "Isn't he just a researcher at a small research institute? And Qiao Weini doesn't seem like someone who studied abroad."
"Doesn't he often travel all over the world to attend their academic conferences? He's certainly taken some advanced courses there." The uncle's answer was vague, clearly showing that he didn't care much about his younger brother.
Guderian presented a photograph to Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei raised his eyelids and looked out. It was a summer garden, the sun was setting, and the silhouette of Kassel College could be vaguely seen in the distance. Closer up were deep green vine walls, and a man and a woman were walking hand in hand in the vine wall. The man was wearing a loose white shirt, and the woman was wearing an ivory white cotton skirt.
The phrase "a perfect couple" sounds a bit contrived in modern society, but the two people in the photo truly do look like a perfect couple...
"Stop, stop, stop."
Nuonuo suddenly spoke coldly, pulling Lu Mingfei's thoughts back to reality.
Lu Mingfei then remembered who Nuonuo was, and froze on the spot: "You're the one who cheated in StarCraft..."
"This is none of your business. I need to talk to Lin."
Chen Motong said.
Lu Mingfei: "..."
Lu Mingfei originally wanted to curse that someone cheated for 4000+ points, but after the other person said that, he suddenly lost interest in the topic.
The little white rabbit in my heart hopped and skipped, and then the brown bear used it as toilet paper. That's probably why his fur is all yellow.
"Nono, what's wrong with you?"
The Guderian were dumbfounded.
Not a girl.
The old man took a deep breath, his blood pressure soaring. The heavens opened wide, and flames poured down like rain. The emotions he had painstakingly cultivated were shattered by this very reinforcement he had brought from his own home.
"It's nothing, you guys continue." Nono waved her hand again in the direction of Lu Mingfei and Guderian.
Finally, the two looked at each other.
Linto nodded slightly.
He had already guessed that Chen Motong must have her own reasons for arriving so early.
It's only natural for them to talk to me, so I can only try to mediate.
Mind-based abilities are just that monstrous. Open the door and let me see. I'm a super box, impossible to defend against.
Even with one eye equipped with the Oracle Probe and the other with a retinal UI system, he was only searching for information superficially. Unlike Chen Motong, who was like a gazelle with its horns hanging in the air, finding nothing at all.
"Could you please stop profiling me?"
Linto asked.
Nono: "..."
She raised an eyebrow slightly; this was indeed an unprecedented statement.
Logically speaking, Linto shouldn't have known that she had the ability to profile others, or rather, no one should have known this before she revealed it.
Chen Motong didn't have that "I'll do it even if you tell me not to" mentality; she simply nodded and said, "Okay."
Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya exchanged a glance.
Just as they expected.
The moment Chen Motong made contact with Lin Tuo, he was... opened.
...
Meanwhile, on Lu Mingfei's side...
Without Linto's interference, Guderian, his uncle, aunt, and Lu Mingfei were able to immerse themselves in the atmosphere exceptionally quickly.
The photograph lay quietly spread out on the table.
Guderian breathed a sigh of relief; everything was proceeding according to plan.
Although the contract was a bit painful, it was enough for the great cause of slaying the dragon. Now that things had come to this, he no longer cared about right or wrong.
Lu Mingfei stretched out his finger and gently touched the faces of the two people on the screen.
Those were his parents, but they were so far away from him, in a corner of the world he could never reach.
His nose tingled with emotion. The man and woman in the photo gazed at each other, their smiles filled with deep affection…
"Hey, you two are really enjoying your time together. In that world, have you forgotten that you even had a child together?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself.
My aunt made a succinct comment: "She's getting on in years, yet she still knows how to be romantic!"
Guderian could read lips.
Seeing Lu Mingfei's expression of such delicious...loneliness, he sighed. This must be the sorrow of blood.
The higher the bloodline of a mixed-race individual, the harder it is for them to find their place in the world. After all, there are always so many rabble in this world who are mediocre and boring, and people are always afraid that they might become one of them in the future.
He slowly handed over another letter, which was very short and appeared to be an email printout:
Dear Principal of Angers:
It's been a long time since we last contacted each other. I hope you are in as good health as before.
We probably won't see each other for a long time. Our recent research is very demanding, and we can't leave. So please be sure to save your black tea for us to enjoy when we get back.
My son, Lu Mingfei, is eighteen years old. He's a bright boy, and while his grades may not be the best, we all believe he will achieve great things academically. Therefore, if possible, please assist Kassel College in admitting him.
Since I can't tell him in person, I can only ask you to convey my message that Dad and Mom love him.
Sincerely, Jovie.
Lu Mingfei read the letter repeatedly, remaining silent for a long time.
Guderian gazed into Lu Mingfei's eyes, cleared his throat, and said with deep affection in a tone as reminiscent of a news broadcast, "Mingfei, Mom and Dad love you!"
Lu Mingfei stared wide-eyed, completely dumbfounded. His uncle and aunt were also dumbfounded, not knowing what the professor was up to. He even tried to imitate a woman's tone.
However, something even more sinister was about to happen.
...
"Me, over?"
Chen Motong's exclamation broke the tension that Lu Mingfei had been building up.
Even Guderian couldn't help but turn his head at that sound.
It was truly astonishing that Chen Motong would say such a thing. Even if she had a witch-like personality, she would never use such unladylike words.
Chen Motong seemed to have lost the ability to speak, and just stared blankly at Lin Tuo.
Linto: "..."
Okay, it seems this young lady did indeed try to profile him.
only...
How desperate must one be to perform such a dance?
A moment later, Chen Motong pointed at Lin Tuo, his fingers trembling uncontrollably, like a Parkinson's patient.
It took about a few seconds for my body to return to normal.
"Nono, what's wrong?"
Guderian quickly inquired.
"Little girl!" Ye Sheng and Jiu Deyaji were also anxious. If the commotion just now had been accompanied by the sound effects of Tom and Jerry, it would probably have been a series of "Oh ho ho ooh ho ho ho ho".
"I did it."
Linto said slowly.
"Let me tell you something you don't know," Ye Sheng said, turning his head. "So, is this your Word of Power?"
"No, it's probably just because she profiled me."
Linto sighed.
Although I don't know what happened, in this situation, it must be related to the system that Tony gave me in the main world.
Even Tony Stark, a dragon, is doing well; he even has a reverse-opening function.
It's like someone online clamoring to open a social engineering database for you, but before you even open it, they get infected with a virus and their phone is locked. They then have to beg you to give them the key, or their phone will become a brick.
"Profiling…"
Ye Sheng was slightly taken aback.
The same principle applies to the wine-making process.
Both of them were prisoners of Kassel College, so of course they knew who Nono was. She could speak to people in one way and to ghosts in another, making people live in constant fear. They saw right through her.
Through profiling, she could see Caesar as a lion, and the two of them together were a kind of life.
She also saw through Ye Sheng and Jiu Deya.
Couples at Kassel College cannot participate in missions simultaneously to avoid indecisiveness during the mission, which could result in both partners returning home empty-handed.
Chen Motong saw through their feelings for each other, and in order to continue working together, they even paid hush money to keep quiet.
In a civilized society where violence is avoided, this bizarre ability, comparable to Professor X's mind-reading skills, is incredibly sinister. Yet now, a powerful weapon has emerged to counter Chen Motong.
Linto.
Disturbed like this, Lu Mingfei lost his desire to cry and simply observed what Lin Tuo was up to this time.
Profile? Is this cheat code user a private investigator? He stared at Nono suspiciously.
"you..."
Chen Motong organized his thoughts: "How did I manage to profile the entire Marvel Universe through you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
certainly.
Linto was also dumbfounded.
